Angular Recording Corporation is an
independent record label originally based inNew Cross , South EastLondon . Set up in June 2003 by two ex-Goldsmiths College students, Joe Daniel and Joe Margetts who reclaimed a localOrdnance Survey Triangulation Station and made it their first artefact: ARC 001.
